SAGINAW, MI — The suspect in four Michigan bank robberies was arrested in Saginaw and remains jailed in Saginaw County, according to court documents.

Bryan E. Brooks was arrested Wednesday, Sept. 25, at an address on East Road in Saginaw County, according to a criminal complaint and affidavit submitted by FBI Special Agent Juan M. Herrera and signed Sept. 26 by U.S. Magistrate Judge Mona K. Majzoub.

Brooks, 46, was arrested on an outstanding parole absconder warrant from Oakland County.

After his arrest, Brooks confessed to the following robberies, according to the sworn statement:

The Aug. 30 robbery of TCF Bank, 40770 Dequindre, Sterling Heights, in which a man entered the branch about 12:55 p.m. wearing a hat with "Lucky" printed on the front and a shirt featuring Al Pacino as Scarface and the words "Make way for the bad guy."

The man handed the teller an index card with the words "This is a robbery give me all your loose bills" handwritten on it. The teller handed over $1,332 in cash.

The man left with a manila envelope full of money, but not before he inspected the bills and threw back a "bait bill pack" and retrieved his note, according to the affidavit.

The Sept. 3 robbery of Flagstar Bank, 34945 Gratiot, in Clinton Township, in which a man wearing a baseball hat and dark sunglasses entered the building and placed a note on the counter that read, "This is a robbery give me all the cash."

The teller handed the robber money, and he said it was not enough, according to the sworn statement, so he told the teller to empty the rest of the drawer. After he received $1,416 in cash, he placed it in a manila envelope and grabbed his note before leaving.

Investigators reviewed security footage and determined that the man got into the passenger side door of a gray or silver car, and a witness reported seeing the car leaving the area at a high rate of speed and that a blue shirt was thrown from the vehicle.

The Sept. 13 robbery of Talmer Bank, 715 S. Cedar, in Imlay City, at 4:49 p.m. Police say a man walked into the building carrying a red zippered pouch and placed a note demanding money on the counter. The teller placed $1,632 on the counter and the man grabbed the note and money and left. Police found a wig and a shirt nearby that they believe was used in the robbery.

The Sept. 20 robbery of Comerica Bank, 260 Brown, in Auburn Hills in which a man entered at 2:36 p.m. wearing a baseball cap and dark sunglasses and handed over a note demanding money. The man then told the teller, "Don't touch anything" and "give me all loose bills," according to court documents. After receiving $4,699 from the teller, the man placed it into a green binder and left.

"The four robberies described in the above paragraphs appear to have been committed by the same individual," Herrera wrote. "The method of operation was consistent including the similarities of the verbiage used in the demand notes."

Witness descriptions of the suspect "generally match," he wrote.

After releasing surveillance photographs, the Macomb County office of the FBI received several tips about his identity from the public by Sept. 25. Informants told the FBI they believed the man pictured was Brooks, and two of the tipsters indicated that Brooks had a small tattoo on his left hand. Ttheir descriptions matched surveillance images.

Agent Herrera wrote that he believes "based on his comparison of Brooks' (Offender Tracking Information System) image with surveillance photographs from the above robberies, that Brooks is responsible for the above robberies."

Investigators were led to Saginaw once the Bay City FBI task force became involved and found that Brooks was staying at an address on East Road in the city.

The address on East Road is replaced with "XXXX" on the court document.

FBI agents advised Brooks of his Miranda Rights, and Brooks admitted that he committed the robberies, according to the affidavit. Brooks confirmed that he was the person pictured in the surveillance photographs, authorities said.

Brooks told investigators that a second, unidentified person planned the robberies and wrote the demand notes. Brooks said he and the other person split the money.

Brooks remains jailed at the Saginaw County Jail on a parole violation.
